Interfacial modification of silica surfaces through gamma-isocyanatopropyl triethoxy silane-amine coupling reactions
We demonstrate that -isocyanatopropyl triethoxysilane (ISO) provides a convenient route to functionalize silica surfaces through coupling reactions with readily available reagents.

Punctual Until as a scalar NPI
The paper offers an analysis of punctual "until" that links together its truth conditional and presuppositional content with its status as a polarity item by incorporating scalarity into its meaning.

Timing the Occurrence of Randomly Spaced Events using $V_{T}$ Shift in Disordered Semiconductors
This paper discusses the concept of using threshold voltage shift ($V_{T}$ shift) in disordered semiconductors based thin film transistors to measure the time of occurrence of randomly spaced events of…
